For sale: Late Medieval glaive-head.
I offer for sale a very nice, hand-forged, WOTR replica of a late Medieval glaive-head (the head is socketed ready for hafting on to an Ash pole). The cutting edge is rebated but the tip is as you can see in the photos, highly pointed. A rock solid glaive-head made by a Polish armourer some years ba...

Re: Daily rations for a castle guard or medieval foot soldier.
Brother Ranulf, this is brilliant information - thank you so much :) I am going to have a good read through it all and make relevant notes, as there are some good pointers in places, which I will use myself in my re-enactment activities. Certain calculations will be interesting and fun to pass on to...

Daily rations for a castle guard or medieval foot soldier.
Good morning everyone Can anybody help me please? I am trying to find contemporary sources or information about what the daily food and drink rations would have been for say a common 14th/15th century castle guard or foot-soldier. Does anybody know of any contemporary written accounts detailing such...

Re: Artillery in UK castles during 14th century.
Cheers Griff, that has helped pin it down time-wise for me. BTW took another look at the massive stone sphere in the Gunnery tower on my shift today, the one you didn't rule out being a torsion or counter-poise catapult or trebuchet missile rather than a mortar missile. It's much bigger than I remem...

Re: Artillery in UK castles during 14th century.
Thanks Griff, most interesting, especially about the 'Gods Tower' findings. On a related matter.

Re: Artillery in UK castles during 14th century.
Thanks Griff. I have been informed by much more knowledgable bods than me, that the medieval city wall defences of Southampton were very well maintained and they had a very well formed plan of strategy for arranging for their defence. Each group of citizens living in close proximity to their section...

That makes sense about the use of English artillery pieces mainly being used in France during the Hundred Years War.

The blade edge is no sharper than your average pocket pen knife. I can press the blade edge quite firmly and run my finger along the blade edge with damaging my finger whatsoever
